Repository Offline Documents and Folders

The Laserfiche app lets you save copies of Laserfiche repository documents offline. This lets users view documents when they are not connected to cellular service or Wi-Fi.

Example: Chris is flying to Seattle for a business trip. He needs to make use of his travel time and review some case files while on the plane. While he has Wi-Fi in the airport, he selects the documents he needs to read and saves offline copies of them. When he gets on the plane, he can read through each case file without being connected to a cellular service or Wi-Fi.

Note: You will only be able to save offline copies of electronic documents (not Laserfiche imaged documents) if you are using a Laserfiche Mobile Server earlier than 9.2.1.

Note: Saving offline copies of Laserfiche repository documents does not remove them from your repository. These copies are read-only.

To save an offline copy of one Laserfiche repository document

Do one of the following:

While the document is open, press the ellipsis in the app bar at the bottom of the screen and press Save Offline Copy.
If using touch screen, swipe left or right on the document in the Folder Browse, press the ellipsis at the app bar at the bottom, and press Save Offline Copy. If using a mouse, right-click on the document in the Folder Browser and press Save Offline Copy in the app bar.
Note: Saving a shortcut offline will save the actual document.

To save offline copies of multiple Laserfiche repository documents

Swipe left or right on one of the documents you want to save offline to display the checkboxes next to all the documents. Select the checkboxes next to the documents you want to save offline.

To remove copies of offline Laserfiche repository documents from your device

To save offline copies of repository folders

Swipe left or right on one of the folders you want to save offline to display the checkboxes next to all the folders. Select the checkboxes next to the folders you want to save offline.
Press the ellipsis in the app bar at the bottom, then select Save Offline Copy.
The folder and any subfolders or documents within it will be saved offline.

To view offline repository documents and folders

From the Start page, press Offline mode.
The documents and folders saved from the repository will be under From Laserfiche.
Press the folder you want to open or the document you want to view.

Passcode Protection

Copies of offline documents can be passcode protected. This ensures that sensitive documents will be secure in the case your device ends up in the wrong hands.

To passcode protect copies of offline documents

Press the Settings button in the bottom left of the menu.
Press Turn passcode on.
Enter a new passcode, then re-enter it to verify it.
Press Change passcode to change your passcode.

Note: If your administrator requires copies of offline documents to be passcode protected, you will be prompted to set up a passcode the first time you try to save a copy of a document offline. If you change the passcode, all copies of offline documents will be removed from your local device.
